Haemostats

Uniplex distributes two high-quality haemostats that are currently being used throughout the UK and the rest of the world. Uniplex’s haemostats can offer a significant cost saving, whilst maintaining or improving the high quality expected from healthcare professionals.

The first haemostat in the Uniplex portfolio is a Gelatin Sponge Haemostat, Cutanplast, manufactured by Mascia Brunelli in Italy. Uniplex has been working with Mascia Brunelli since 2011, distributing 10 variations of their Gelatin Sponge haemostat. Mascia Brunelli is a global company operating in vitro diagnostic fields for microbiology, haematology, clinical chemistry, immunology and more.

The second haemostat that Uniplex distributes is an oxidised cellulose haemostat, manufactured by Synthesia. Synthesia is a company with expertise in chemistry. The company orientates from the Czech Republic and since 1912 have been developing innovative chemical solutions, including their advanced range of Oxidised Cellulose haemostats. Synthesia has been manufacturing their haemostat Okcel for over 20 years and it has been used in over 3.5million surgeries.

Okcel – Oxidised Cellulose Haemostats

Okcel is an Oxidised Resorbable Cellulose haemostat that rapidly stops bleeding by acting as a matrix for the formation of a clot. The product helps protect against infection, promotes tissue regeneration and is suitable for wound healing. Okcel is a biodegradable, bioresorbable and biocompatible polymer, which causes no adverse reaction to the body. Oxidised Cellulose haemostats are important for a wide range of medical applications specifically because of its bacterial effect against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms and its powerful healing effect. Okcel can be used in both human and veterinary medicine. The product can also be used for preparing combined materials for chronic wound treatment, for surgical treatment, as a carrier for drugs, or as a bioreabsorbable membrane (matrix) in regenerative surgery.

Okcel HT – Original textile form

Okcel HT is a textile material ranging in colour from white to yellowish. This knitted version of the absorbable haemostatic material is of standard density. This product can be used to control capillary bleeding, as well as bleeding from smaller veins and arterioles during surgery and minimally invasive procedures.

Okcel HD – Heavy duty textile form

Okcel HD is a knitted textile version of the absorbable haemostatic material that is thicker, denser, and more effective. It is suitable for stopping and controlling the diffusion of higher volumes of blood and bleeding from veins and arterioles during surgical procedures when it is not possible to use ligation or other conventional methods to stop bleeding.

Okcel F – Cotton wool form

Okcel F is a non-woven multi-layered fibrous version of the absorbable haemostatic material that is more lightweight and extremely flexible. It is used to achieve haemostasis over large areas, for surface applications, and in hard-to-reach places.

Cutanplast – Gelatin Sponge Haemostats

Cutanplast is a sterile re-absorbable gelatin sponge with a powerful haemostatic effect. The porous surface of the gelatin activates the enzymatic cascade, leading to natural coagulation. Cutanplast boasts a range of features. The non-toxic haemostat absorbs blood corresponding to approximately 50 times its own weight while maintaining the ability to re-absorb within in a number of weeks. The easy to use, practical and reliable Cutanplast products can be applied dry, or maybe soaked with a sterile physiological solution or with antibiotics.
